Areas in St Michael and St James yesterday experienced brief water outages caused by a burst to a six-inch main in the area of the Frank Worrell Roundabout at the bottom of University Drive.
Barbados Water Authority (BWA) engineering assistant Glendon Sealey said the main suffered “a blowout”. Workmen were carrying out repairs which were expected to be completed by the evening.
Another engineering assistant Samuel King and Sealey were spotted looking over the sketches of where the underground mains run in the area. (LK)
